I've been on numerous Central London CTC sunday rides and there not a million miles from this. There's less people, (typically 15 - 20) and the trains aren't as accommadating but the ethos is still the same, lovely pub lunch and a lot of people still ride classic british touring bikes. Not enough tweed though!

Ties, proper dress. Not in here. Touring comfertably, that's the way.

i wish the roads could be as quiet now like back then (sigh)

How lovely to see so many people cycling together without trying to beat each other.
The most important thing about this video is "togetherness".

Shame that these days we're restricted to two bicycles per train journey. Love the film though
The natty shorts - The white legs - The plus fours - Getting off the bike by lifting one leg over the handle bars - Half a shandy, or lemonade! - Eating your own grub in the pub garden - The togetherness - The 'Carry on Film' music. :0)

Reminds me of a trip I took on the Northstar Line out of Minneapolis on a Saturday last spring when Metro Transit was trying to promote using the train+bike combo. I happened to be going on a bike+train ride just for fun that day, so I was surprised to see dozens of cyclists on the train already. They fit them in anywhere they could. Might have ruffled a few feathers (it was just a regularly-scheduled train), but it seemed that the group was having fun.

Take 20 or so bikes on a train? These days you'll be lucky to get more than 4 bikes on a train, often it's only two. And you'll probably need to book. During the rush hour? forget it.

Not my quote; Style not Speed, Elegance not Exertion....
And EVERYONE stops when someone flats? Nice.

Cycling and drinking. Glorious. It makes me want to buy a set of plus fours and a nice wool jersey.

Wonderful video, thanks for posting. Too bad this cycling ethic is lacking in the US. Hopefully that will change.
